If I understand correctly Adrian wants to put data on the CDn lines between MREQL going low and RDL going low. The ROM may not go tristate fast enough to prevent a clash on the CDn lines. This was the problem I had with UniDos in the PlusD and DISCiPLE when I tried to switch the ROM out during a RST8. I had to get round it by having the same instruction in both the (speccy)ROM and the PlusD shadow ROM. As I wrote before if he's fighting RAM then there's no problem.
